THE IOWA EvICTIONS.

How the House Can Improve Its Already
Splendid Land Record.
The English evictions in Iowa are in
some respects worse than those in Ire
land. In the latter there is plausible
claim that the tenant has forfeited his
rights by non-payment of rent, though
the rent is so eXorbitant under the cir
cumstances as to deprive the claim o.
justice. In Iowa the evicted are peaceful
settlers, who took possession of their
holdings and erected dwellings Oh
them upon the declaration of the In
terror Department that the lands
should be opened to settlement. The
claimants who are doing the eviction
act are assignees of railroad company
which never earned its grant
The latter ought to have been for
feited long ago, and there is every
reason to believe that the Interior De-
partmcnt regarded it as forfeited. The
Democratic House this winter can i'm
prove its land record, which is already
splendid one, by looking into this
matter and protecting the honest set
tiers against the inheritors of a railroad
robbery.
whether Republican Senate can be
depended on to aid in the good worn
is doubtful That BODY has shown it
self exceedingly unwilling to interfere
with the railroad monopolists and their
assignees. Perhaps it is afraid Oh
arousing the wrath of the magnates
and unloosing their tongues, which
were tied up SO tight in the recent
vestigation. Detroit Free Press.

pleased to see Congress repeal it this
winter.
AUSTRIAN exports to America the past

IN a TIGHT PLACE.
The Uncomfortable Dilemma In which
the a. q. =. Finds ItselE

The Uncomfortable Dilemma I'm Which
the a. .. p. Finds ItaelE
Complications are arising In the He--
publican party. Since the defeat OF
Blaine in 1884 the almost unanimous
sentiment of the party seemed to favor
his denomination in 1888. Sherman
booms were launched, Allison was
placed in training. Hawley's available
ity was suggested, Gresham and Ben
Harrison were reviewed, but IN the
end all working Republicans turned to.
Blaine as the natural leader of the
party. There is no doubt still that
Blaine is the choice for President of an
licans. But is he available? This is.
the question that the big minds of the
party arc now asking, and the re-
sponses are not suggestive of hope for
the future. In fine, the Blaine senti-
ment is not so unanimous as it was a.
year or two ago. 1t is taken for
granted that the Independent Re-
publicans who bolted the nomination .
of Blaine in 1884 are ready to repeat
this performance next year. No effort
has Eeen made by the Blaine people to
concil1ate the Mugwumps, and many
conservative voters who supported
Blaine in 1884 because of a general in-s
disposition to unsettle things by a rad
zeal change in the administration Of
the Government. will support Cleve-
land next year for precisely the same
reason.
The long-headed leaders of the Re-
publican party see these things plain
| L. fri To
Blaine they foreses that his nomina-
ton would mean inevitable defeat. 1t
is a game of party expediency against
personal choice. Blaine's immediate
followers say that the great popular
| leader must be indicated by another
nomination. The men who are for the
party first and Blaine afterwards as
sert that the party can not survive
another defeat, and that the conditions
of the public mind are no more favor
able to Blaine now than they were
three years ago.
This does not present pleasant state
of affairs for the contemplation of
ardent Republicans. 1t Is case of
you're cursed if you do and you're
cursed if you don't" If Blaine is NOM
mated the far-seeing politicians predict
inevitable defeat. If Blaine is not
nominated are the chances of Repub-
lican success any better? 1t is not
likely that Mr.. Blaine and his immedi-
ate friends would tolerate the election
of any other Republican. The election
! of a Republican candidate other than
Blaine in 1883 would be condemna-
lion of Blaine so pronounced that no
amount of party fealty could excuse it
1t would be a clear demonstration to
the world that Blaine was solely re-
sponsible for the defeat of the Repub-
licans in 1884 This is something that
Blaine and his friends will hardly per-
nit. What will be the result? Tho
Republicans will either have to nomi-
nate Blaine and enter campaign in
which the wisest leaders of the party
see nothing but inevitable defeat, or
nominate Lincoln, Sherman or Allison,
either of whom Blaine, in self-defense,
will have to assist the Democrats in
defeating
1t is an uncomfortable dilemma for
the Republicans, but it is the logic of
the situation.-,SL. Louis Republican.

The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1887-05-05

The average annual increase during
these years was in round numbers
100000, bat II We take the eight
years from 1878 to 1885 the increase Is
1854, 959,573. The Manhattan Elevated
read upon its four lines carried during
the year 1885 lis, lo9, Sol passengers.
This is 3o,s49,9ss less than the in
crease for these eight years. Allowisg
for the greater ratio of increase in
succeeding years, by tho year 1890 the
addition OF another Manhattan Ele-
waited company with four lines would
inadequately meet the needs OF the
city. 1t appears that the ratio OF in
crease In population to increase in
passenger traffic is approximately as
one to three that is to say, every addi-
ton of 1000 to the population adds
5000 to the passengers carried.
The present ratio OF increase
In population Ia about 40 per cent.
per decade. Upon this basis it
is easy to figure out the necessities OF
passenger traffic for any given year.
Bat assuming that an addition of 1000
in population adds only 1000 to the
passenger traffic, the number of per-
sons using the street cars in 1890 will
be 422, 444, 500, and in 1900, S44, $3.50, 1902.
These records OF street railway traffic
in the metropolis show that the num-
Der OF passengers carried increases
very largely when additional accom-
modstions are provided. When the
dummy line is running this will be
found to be the case.

that is bound to delight the nearer.
